Hi all,
I'm looking for pictures of the interior of a BMP-2 to build the AEF Designs detailing set with a Dragon kit.
Ive got the Kagero book but there are not enough pictures of the interior to deal with the AEF stuff (some mistakes to fix).

TIA
Olivier

Thanks Gary,
the turret larger size obviously generated some mods in the troop compartment. I can't tell about the driver and trooper behind him stations.

IIRC, the driver commander area is the same on both. However, from the engine firewall back it is different: The turret ring is different, the fuel cells stored inside are different and the seating arrangement is different.

Sorry, I could not google any good pictures.

Here's a few from a Finnish example, not sure if there would be much difference from a Russian vehicle? Wish I had taken more photos, but this was pre-digicam days






Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for your inputs Jim and Frenchy.
Frenchy's looks to be a non standard version as the seat arrangment is quite different from the one depicted in the Kagero book.
I wondered whether it was a BRM or something like that.

Do those Photobucket thumbnail links in my post work for you Guys? I get something like 'The action that you were trying to perform has failed'. I'll just re-post the full size pics if needed.

Edit-OK, that's better.

Oliver, I love your website!. I especially like modern Chinese (PLA) equipment. I just wish there wer more kits of it on the market.. Try these:

Cardboard kit, but it has some CAD drawings of the BMP-2 inerior. Don't know the origin of the CAD drawings, unfortunately.

It says BMP-1, but it is definately a BMP-2

Thanks for your kind comments Phil and for the links too. The one with the CAD drawings is really impressive.
